00:00:45,613 --> 00:00:47,773
Speaker 2: O three. I think that's right, isn't it? Yeah, anywhere

17
00:00:47,773 --> 00:00:51,253
Speaker 2: in the Southern Yeah, well Linin's the four, That's right.

18
00:00:52,013 --> 00:00:53,933
Speaker 2: Ninety ninety two is the text unrest. You want to

19
00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:56,373
Speaker 2: send us a message this morning, Kevin mill Is with

20
00:00:56,533 --> 00:00:57,693
Speaker 2: us ka.

21
00:00:57,453 --> 00:01:00,293
Speaker 3: Kevin Kyoder Jack. I love what you said about the

22
00:01:00,533 --> 00:01:04,013
Speaker 3: about Taka and I'm thinking who would have been the

23
00:01:04,053 --> 00:01:07,693
Speaker 3: one person in christis you could say was behind all that,

24
00:01:07,893 --> 00:01:11,653
Speaker 3: who took all the political heat? Was there any one

25
00:01:12,093 --> 00:01:14,333
Speaker 3: mayor or I'm.

26
00:01:14,133 --> 00:01:15,933
Speaker 2: Not sure that there is, because I mean I didn't

27
00:01:15,933 --> 00:01:17,933
Speaker 2: get into it then, because no one wants to be

28
00:01:17,973 --> 00:01:19,573
Speaker 2: talking about the cost of the thing right now. But

29
00:01:19,653 --> 00:01:25,853
Speaker 2: the final cost was certainly a source of contention or

30
00:01:25,853 --> 00:01:28,773
Speaker 2: point of contention and the ways in which it was

31
00:01:29,053 --> 00:01:31,173
Speaker 2: paid for or not, because i mean central government puts

32
00:01:31,173 --> 00:01:34,093
Speaker 2: some money in, but then basically the christ Church City

33
00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:37,253
Speaker 2: Council paid for the rest of it. And you were

34
00:01:37,293 --> 00:01:40,533
Speaker 2: probably aware that the councils on either side of christ

35
00:01:40,613 --> 00:01:43,093
Speaker 2: Church City are some of the fastest growing regions in

36
00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:47,853
Speaker 2: the country, and so maybe a different response would have

37
00:01:47,893 --> 00:01:51,893
Speaker 2: also asked the councils in those areas to contribute to

38
00:01:51,933 --> 00:01:54,733
Speaker 2: the cost of the stadium. After all, the residents are

39
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:56,453
Speaker 2: going to be the ones using it, probably almost as

40
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,813
Speaker 2: much as people in christ Church City itself, you know,

41
00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:02,493
Speaker 2: like if you in Selwyn, for example, you're probably still

42
00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:04,373
Speaker 2: going to be going to watch the Crusaders when another

43
00:02:04,373 --> 00:02:07,853
Speaker 2: super ap title. So maybe as a rate pad, being

44
00:02:07,893 --> 00:02:09,853
Speaker 2: asked to shell out a little bit and contribute to

45
00:02:09,853 --> 00:02:11,573
Speaker 2: the cost would have been a good idea, But anyway,

46
00:02:11,733 --> 00:02:12,253
Speaker 2: it's one of them.

47
00:02:12,293 --> 00:02:15,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think we forget very quickly about these

48
00:02:15,693 --> 00:02:19,213
Speaker 3: people that go into battle. I think my old mate

49
00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:25,013
Speaker 3: Dave Cole, who took a lot of political heat to

50
00:02:25,093 --> 00:02:27,653
Speaker 3: get their stadium of the map, and and of course

51
00:02:27,693 --> 00:02:31,053
Speaker 3: everybody forgets that once it's all up and gone. And

52
00:02:31,133 --> 00:02:33,733
Speaker 3: I just think, no, we we should remember these people

53
00:02:33,813 --> 00:02:36,853
Speaker 3: because they put in the battle right at the start.

54
00:02:37,013 --> 00:02:40,013
Speaker 3: And there must be some there must be some people

55
00:02:40,013 --> 00:02:44,373
Speaker 3: down in grass Church who we mustn't forget. Risked quite

56
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:46,933
Speaker 3: a lot to get that building up.

57
00:02:47,053 --> 00:02:52,613
Speaker 2: Have you seen it from the outside, And it's so common, right,

58
00:02:52,653 --> 00:02:54,253
Speaker 2: I mean, so you'll see it as you fly into

59
00:02:54,293 --> 00:02:57,053
Speaker 2: the city next time you visit. But it's so prominent.

60
00:02:57,093 --> 00:02:59,773
Speaker 2: It's in such a prominent spot right in the CBDs.

61
00:02:59,893 --> 00:03:01,933
Speaker 2: You basically just walk right across the road and you're

62
00:03:01,973 --> 00:03:04,293
Speaker 2: into the bars and restaurants and everything else. It's such

63
00:03:04,293 --> 00:03:05,053
Speaker 2: a great location.

64
00:03:05,213 --> 00:03:09,413
Speaker 3: I didn't, I didn't. Yeah, yeah, I've always thought it

65
00:03:09,493 --> 00:03:11,053
Speaker 3: was built on the Lancaster Park.

66
00:03:11,173 --> 00:03:13,253
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, that it's quite a different

67
00:03:13,253 --> 00:03:16,133
Speaker 2: spot because you know, there was always you know, like

68
00:03:16,173 --> 00:03:18,133
Speaker 2: I said, it was always a little bit semi industrial,

69
00:03:18,213 --> 00:03:20,933
Speaker 2: you know. So yeah, as I'm being reminded, it's no

70
00:03:21,013 --> 00:03:24,533
Speaker 2: longer to Kaha, it's the one new Zealand Stadium. So okay,

71
00:03:24,773 --> 00:03:26,533
Speaker 2: given they've paid a whole lot of money for that

72
00:03:27,173 --> 00:03:30,413
Speaker 2: for the should yeah, one New Zealand Stadium. I wonder

73
00:03:30,453 --> 00:03:32,013
Speaker 2: if we've got the full name, like one New Zealand

74
00:03:32,013 --> 00:03:33,013
Speaker 2: Stadium Metica.

75
00:03:33,053 --> 00:03:35,173
Speaker 3: Sometimes they do, Oh yeah, it would be another name

76
00:03:35,253 --> 00:03:36,293
Speaker 3: next yeareah.

77
00:03:36,173 --> 00:03:39,773
Speaker 2: Well, we're plea yeah, I'm sure we please to have

78
00:03:39,773 --> 00:03:43,493
Speaker 2: a sponsor. Oh, Kevin, you've been thinking about driving tests

79
00:03:43,533 --> 00:03:45,013
Speaker 2: this week and how much they've changed.

80
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:45,733
Speaker 1: Yeah.

81
00:03:45,773 --> 00:03:48,613
Speaker 3: When I got my driver's license way back in nineteen

82
00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:53,453
Speaker 3: sixty four, I did something that that back then was rare.

83
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:57,813
Speaker 3: I set a test and a car that had automatic transmission.

84
00:03:58,453 --> 00:04:01,613
Speaker 3: The car wasn't mine. There were hardly any automatic cars

85
00:04:01,613 --> 00:04:04,893
Speaker 3: in New Zealand in the sixties. My driving in Strapper

86
00:04:05,053 --> 00:04:08,653
Speaker 3: bordered into New Zealand, making it easier for his clients

87
00:04:08,693 --> 00:04:12,213
Speaker 3: to learn to drive. I got my driver's license no

88
00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:16,173
Speaker 3: trouble in the automatic, which weirdly also allowed me to

89
00:04:16,253 --> 00:04:19,373
Speaker 3: drive a manual vehicle even though I didn't know how to.

90
00:04:20,253 --> 00:04:21,973
Speaker 3: The first thing I had to do when I got

91
00:04:22,013 --> 00:04:25,293
Speaker 3: my license was to set about teaching myself how to

92
00:04:25,413 --> 00:04:30,293
Speaker 3: drive our manual family car, a Morris's eleven hundred what

93
00:04:30,413 --> 00:04:34,333
Speaker 3: slack driving laws stood back then. It wasn't till the

94
00:04:34,493 --> 00:04:37,373
Speaker 3: eighties the law changed so that if you got your

95
00:04:37,413 --> 00:04:40,693
Speaker 3: license in an automatic, you got an endorsement on your

96
00:04:40,733 --> 00:04:44,213
Speaker 3: license saying you couldn't drive a manual car. You still

97
00:04:44,253 --> 00:04:47,253
Speaker 3: can't if you're on a restricted license, but now if

98
00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:51,133
Speaker 3: you have a full license, you can drive automatic or manual.

99
00:04:51,413 --> 00:04:54,973
Speaker 3: I guess that's because it's unlikely you'll end up driving

100
00:04:54,973 --> 00:04:59,213
Speaker 3: a manual. Nowadays, only ten percent of New Zealand cars

101
00:04:59,253 --> 00:05:03,213
Speaker 3: are currently manual. Going back to the slackness of the rules.

102
00:05:03,813 --> 00:05:07,053
Speaker 3: Later in the sixties, I also got my heavy track

103
00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:11,253
Speaker 3: license so I could drive the b n Z's mobile bank.

104
00:05:12,253 --> 00:05:14,893
Speaker 3: I worked for the bank. Back then, you could set

105
00:05:14,973 --> 00:05:18,453
Speaker 3: your heavy track test driving a truck with no deck

106
00:05:18,493 --> 00:05:21,333
Speaker 3: on it. I still found it difficult. You only had

107
00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:25,373
Speaker 3: to touch the pneumatic brakes and you nearly catapulted the

108
00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:29,693
Speaker 3: end over end. I failed my first test. I had

109
00:05:29,733 --> 00:05:31,933
Speaker 3: the same cop from the second test. You told me

110
00:05:32,013 --> 00:05:35,373
Speaker 3: I was no better, but he passed me anyway. I

111
00:05:35,373 --> 00:05:38,853
Speaker 3: remember him saying, learn how to drive a truck before

112
00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:43,773
Speaker 3: you take out that mobile bank. I still have my

113
00:05:43,853 --> 00:05:46,773
Speaker 3: heavy track license, but I left the bank before I

114
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:49,493
Speaker 3: was given the keys to the mobile bank, and I

115
00:05:49,533 --> 00:05:51,893
Speaker 3: think we can all be grateful for that. Jack.

116
00:05:53,133 --> 00:05:56,573
Speaker 2: Oh, that's so funny, Kevin. Yeah, and I'd completely forgotten

117
00:05:56,573 --> 00:06:01,413
Speaker 2: about the you know, the automatic versus manual. Yeah, you know,

118
00:06:01,613 --> 00:06:05,573
Speaker 2: like it's quite a big deal. I think my brother actually,

119
00:06:06,013 --> 00:06:08,373
Speaker 2: he was like famously like to learn to drive. I

120
00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:10,213
Speaker 2: think he was in his twenties when he learned to drive,

121
00:06:10,253 --> 00:06:13,293
Speaker 2: and so he only got an automatic endorsement on his thing. Now.

122
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:17,693
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's amazing in Britain, that's the other way around.

123
00:06:18,373 --> 00:06:22,933
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe that most cars in Britain are still manual.

124
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:23,613
Speaker 2: Yeah.

125
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:27,173
Speaker 3: I think it's really it's a really weird.

126
00:06:26,893 --> 00:06:29,653
Speaker 2: Thing, do you know. I've said it before. I really

127
00:06:29,733 --> 00:06:33,453
Speaker 2: miss driving manual cars. I really like driving a manual car.

128
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:35,493
Speaker 2: You just feel much more connected to the road. I think,

129
00:06:35,773 --> 00:06:36,213
Speaker 2: much more, I.

130
00:06:36,253 --> 00:06:39,293
Speaker 3: Think if you're a driver driver, Yeah, I mean I

131
00:06:39,453 --> 00:06:42,773
Speaker 3: just wanted the ease of driving I love. I'd never

132
00:06:42,773 --> 00:06:45,453
Speaker 3: get I'd never get a manual again. Yeah, unless somebody

133
00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:49,093
Speaker 3: offered me and Aston Martin with manual you take that.

134
00:06:49,213 --> 00:06:52,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd lower yourself to that. Yeah, you find that

135
00:06:52,533 --> 00:06:54,293
Speaker 2: stuff in that position very good.

136
00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:54,573
Speaker 3: Kevin.

137
00:06:54,613 --> 00:06:56,773
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you for that. Have a great weekend and

Speaker 2: It is definitely One New Zealand Stadium. You're sorry. I

142
00:07:04,493 --> 00:07:05,813
Speaker 2: need to get used to that, you know how it does.

143
00:07:05,853 --> 00:07:07,333
Speaker 2: It can be a bit when you're used to calling

144
00:07:07,373 --> 00:07:09,093
Speaker 2: it one thing and then you've got to change the name.

145
00:07:09,093 --> 00:07:12,493
Speaker 2: But One New Zealand Stadium is the official name for

146
00:07:12,653 --> 00:07:15,853
